Cool, thanks for the update. I'm curious to see what the memory footprint of the JS engine is going to be.

My last update (from two weeks ago or so) was that you were going to bundle a JS runtime for Android as there's too much variation in earlier versions. Has that changed?

For those as ignorant as me, here's the Wikipedia explanation of what PfSense is: pfSense is an open source firewall/router computer software distribution based on FreeBSD. It is installed on a computer to make a dedicat

The files under `/data/data/[pkgname]` are only readable by the corresponding application. Encrypting them wouldn't add any security as the key for that cache would also be stored on the device.

That is not how a scalable architecture looks like. You don't want to handle authorization in the same service that's responsible for deleting the resource. Yes, there should have been tests in place, but no it's not a missin

Stephen Diehl continues to blow my mind on a regular basis. His latest work in progress "Wrote You a Haskell"[0] is also worth keeping an eye on. I've worked through the first couple of chapters and it's fantastic. [0]

That's exactly the kind of tool I'd love to see in 2015. Not only but in particular for Haskell development. nix seems to gain traction to set up your dev environment, but it's still pretty clunky to use at this point.

I never optimized for revenue. Given the high retention rate and overall user numbers I could have gotten way more out of it, but I was frankly not interested in it. I felt like I was making good enough money given the effort that I put int
